Chapter 1: The Man With The Plan

It was a mostly cold and snowy night in the middle of the Siberian wilderness as the sky was loaded with clouds that rained nothing but snow and ice down on the land. Deep down in the dark and moonlight wilderness and mountain side,there was a seemingly and entirely abandoned Soviet gulag and installation. Almost all of the windows were broken and smashed into pieces either due to rocks thrown by travelers or hikers,or most likely due to storms,wear and tear. The metal and copper walls and rails were entirely rusted from top to bottom along with the insides of the building.

It was a literal fosil of what the facility used to be but that didn't mean that there was no one to be found inside. Way down in the deepest depths of the facility,an old,tall and most of all lanky man with short white hair and wearing an eyepatch over his left eye as well as a black,leather suit was walking down the poorly lit hallways of the catacombs. He had a bit of a hunch in his back and always leaned forward as he walked,and his one uncovered eye was blood red in the iris.

He continued to slowly walk down the hallway without saying a single word until he heard the frantic pattering of feet come down behind him. He stopped in his tracks and turned his head around to see that his main assistant was coming down the hallway most likely to see him. He wore a white lab coat and sported square,nerdy glasses along with red hair and seemed to be holding a clipboard in his right hand.

"There you are Mr Romanov. I've been looking for you." The man sighed in relief as he joined his boss before Mr Romanov commanded in his old,beat up and gravelly voice "Talk to me Jonathan."

"Uh yes sir." Jonathan stammered in his nerdy and high pitched voice before he looked at his clipboard and stated "We have just got our most recent payment for our last job along with a note from our client."

"Good. And?" Mr Romanov smiled very faintly and asked out of curiosity before Jonathan nervously smiled and regretfully replied "Unfortunately the payload isn't enough for us to fund our super weapons program. Me and the other workers tallied it up with all our other payments and it still isn't enough."

"Drat." Mr Romanov closed his eyes and quietly and angrily growled in disappointment as Jonathan continued his status report from before "It is indeed disappointing sir,apparently the letter said that our client was a little displeased at the fact that our soldiers had to kill a few enemies instead of tranquilizing them as ordered,so he payed us less than our original agreement."

"But we still did our job and got the hostage out as requested,he should have cared more about that rather than the lives of a few worthless rebels. Are there any other ways we can get some money here?"

"I'm afraid not sir,that was the last of all our possible clients. I highly doubt they'd want to work with us again after all this,so all that's left is-" Jonathan regretfully replied but suddenly stopped when he realized that there was only one way left for them to get some money. However Mr Romanov was quick to catch onto what Jonathon was talking about as he started to walk up ahead to which the latter nervously pleaded as he followed his boss "Oh you're not seriously thinking what I'm thinking you are sir? He's way too young,he's probably not even ready for this kind of mission yet."

"Of course he is,he's trained every day of his life for this day,and I deliberately had to homeschool him so I could work in even more training time." Mr Romanov sternly disagreed and insisted that this mystery plan of his would work as Jonathon respectfully interjected "But sir you have to realize what you're doing? Sending him out into the States alone with only a phone and the bare essentials,and if they find out we sent him and why we sent him,this whole enterprise of ours could literally be destroyed."

It was then that Mr Romanov stopped dead in his tracks and turned to face his assistant as he sternly retorted "And if we don't get the money we need to fund our weapons and pay our soldiers sometime soon,our enterprise will certainly be destroyed anyway,as well as your job so you can feed your daughter and supply her with a happy life."

Jonathon's worried and concerned look on his face then started to appear more saddened and conflicted as he looked down at his feet before Mr Romanov continued "Now….shall we do this…...for us….for Jenna?" to which Jonathon sighed and reluctantly obliged "Yes sir."

"Good. Now go get my son,it's time." Mr Romanov chuckled and commanded with a cold and lifeless look on his face before Jonathon proceeded to look for Mr Romanov's said son. Once it was just him and only him in the hallway,Mr Romanov then proceeded to continue walking down the hallway before he developed a psychotic grin and said to himself "Nothing will stop me now."

Miles and miles away from Siberia and Mr Romanov's little operation,a large yellow school bus was driving down the straight and unwinding road. It appeared to be out in the middle of the desert and it seemed to be carrying a huge load of luggage at the top,including what seemed to be a small,red toy piano. And inside the bus was none other than the Peanuts gang which included Charlie Brown and Linus wearing white sailor hats,Lucy,Snoopy and Woodstock,Peppermint Patty and Marcie,Violet and Patty Swanson,Scherdoer,Franklin,Pig-Pen,Freida,Shermy and Sally. It was fairly obvious that they were indeed headed off to summer camp once again as the bus drove and and on and they all enjoyed the scenery and mostly had a good time on the way there.

Author's Note

So whenever you read dialogue from Mr Romanov,read it in Leonard Nimoy's voice because that is honestly the kind of voice I want for a character like this. Also this is an idea I have had cooking up in my head for a long time,but I never really knew when to start writing it. However it was when I read the fantastic HPDrummerman's amazing story Summer Of Chaos that it finally gave me the spark to start writing this down. So thanks for that and see you soon with more,I got so much stuff to write and update. Yikes!
